Your personal wishlist
 
What do you want to see in the new remakes? Any requests or hopes, no matter how eccentric? Discuss!

The Doctor May 7th, 2014 10:49 AM

I want to see the return of Secret Bases, those bad boys were freaking awesome!

εcho. May 7th, 2014 10:49 AM

New and updated contests!

I loved that part of R/S/E and was sad when they didn't continue in the following games.

Mana May 7th, 2014 10:50 AM

More megas! (which are rumoured already anyway :<)

PrincessOfArendelle May 7th, 2014 10:52 AM

Secret bases but...with wifi! Like how GTA Online let's you chill in your friends houses.

Also for contests to be like the anime or at least the AG anime. Ohhhh wifi contests might be fun

vocis May 7th, 2014 10:53 AM

They had better be compatible with Bank.

Ultraviolence May 7th, 2014 10:55 AM

More mega evolutions definitely, and an extended post-game plot. Maybe there could be a whole new area to explore, like the Sevii Islands were to FRLG, or maybe getting to explore one (or more) of the regions.

Also, I know this is unlikely happen but I'd love it if it did - the pokémon contests to actually be like they are in the anime. There could be an appeal round, then the obvious battles. I know this is so unlikely but the hours I spent on the contests is massive, I'd love to have an expanded experience of them in 3D.

Tsutarja May 7th, 2014 10:56 AM

I'd love to see a battle frontier integrated into these games.

Famon May 7th, 2014 10:57 AM

Norman as the first E4 member specializing on Normal Type

blue May 7th, 2014 10:59 AM

Contests, Trick House, Secret Bases, Berry Trees, Match Call.. basically all the awesome Hoenn stuff.

Sabrewulf238 May 7th, 2014 11:00 AM

I guess they weren't that popular but I hope the trumpets return in the remixed music for this game. There's just a Hoenn flavour to them that was missing in more recent official remixes of Hoenn music.

Love them or hate them I think the trumpets were an important part of the Hoenn region, it just wouldn't be the same without them.

Hikamaru May 7th, 2014 11:12 AM

Here's what I want to see in the game:

- Secret Bases
- Contests
- X/Y Exp. Share mechanic
- All the original music getting updated
- Emerald Battle Frontier
- More Pokemon variety among Team Aqua/Magma
- All 4th Gen evos/pre-evos for Hoenn Dex Pokemon added (sorta like what they did in HG/SS)
- Fairy-type retained on Pokemon that got it (i.e. Azumarill, Gardevoir, Mawile etc)
- Gym Leaders/Elite Four having updated teams
- Brendan/May (or whatever they are) to fully evolve their starter (they didn't do that originally)
- Berry Trees
- And here's one not suggested yet, make Feebas easier to find in the game

Pendraflare May 7th, 2014 11:12 AM

Let me name a few that I would love to see.

More variety in the villainous teams. I’m sure I speak for at least a few people when I say that when I battled Team Magma and Aqua, I got sick and tired of seeing nothing but Zubat, Poochyena, Carvanha/Numel and their evolutions. Even their leaders only had the same three Pokémon's final forms instead of something creative like Cyrus, Ghetsis and Lysandre. So here I do hope they have better teams instead of just being a marathon of the same three Pokémon over and over.

Better means of training. Ugh, this was killer with the Hoenn games, the fact that training was an absolute chore. Emerald had absolutely nowhere to level-up on your own, considering all there really was is the Artisan Cave, and lower level stuff in the Sky Pillar. Also, outside of that, it was nearly as bad as Johto with training at points since the wild Pokémon were so terribly underleveled. So i'd imagine they're gonna keep XY's EXP system where everything that enters battle gains equal amounts of EXP, which I would be fine with. And maybe bring back the Lucky Egg? They've had it in every game since BW, so if they keep it here i'd be alright with that. Also, i'm curious as to what they'll do with the Exp. Share.

More post-game. In my eyes, Ruby and Sapphire has THE second worst post-game in the series, only ahead of Red and Blue. Nothing to do other than Rayquaza, Latios/Latias and a Battle Tower that you HAD to be Level 50 or 100 to enter. They might remake Emerald's Battle Frontier, which would be great. Also, maybe something like the Black Tower/White Treehollow that will be fun to explore and convenient for training? I'd love to see something like that.

Oh, one more thing: DON'T BRING BACK SCOTT. Just so idiots don't keep making fun of him. (My real name is Scott so I don't take that joke well, please.) I'm sure at least 90% of those who played Emerald basically hate the guy, ESPECIALLY those who watched Marriland's Emerald Nuzlocke. I didn't really care for him either, he was fat and showed up at the most random times. So yeah..

And those are just a few I can think of. I'm sure there are more, but this is just a start.

MusikMaestro May 7th, 2014 11:35 AM

I'd hope bases and Hoenn contests are back, with Wi-Fi options for both. Maybeake Feebas a bit easier to catch too :D.

I'd like to see following Pokemon back too, and maybe a few less tutorials then X and Y had as well.

Calamity May 7th, 2014 11:43 AM

More Wally!!! Make that son of a ralts champion and give him a mega Gardevoir.

Aether★ May 7th, 2014 11:50 AM

Contests, X/Y mechanics and Emerald post-game would be just good enough for me. I honestly don't care though, because I'm still buying this game no matter what.

classiccartoonsftw May 7th, 2014 11:53 AM

-An extended Hoenn dex. Not just post-gen evos and prevos, but also the Gastly line, the Houndour line, and the Tangela line, among others.
-Mega Evolutions for Sceptile, Swampert, and possibly Sableye, Raichu, and Flygon
-May as the female protagonist
-Trainer customization
-Bring back Super Training and Pokemon Amie
-Secret Bases. If they bring back Secret Bases with holes in the floor, they should make us able to fill these holes.
-More post-game content, like the Battle Frontier and some new areas to explore
-More battles with Wally and Brendan/May
-Gym Leader and Elite Four rematches with stronger teams
-Make Feebas far less annoying to find
-Make Beldum and maybe Bagon obtainable earlier in the game
-An early game merchant who sells evolutionary stones
-Move tutors before the Pokemon League
-When battling a gym leader's last Pokemon, the background music should be replaced by a remix of the soundtrack "Heroes of Hoenn" from the anime

Keiran May 7th, 2014 11:56 AM

I wanna see Secret Bases, more megaevolutions for Pokémon that deserve them, and more things to do post-game. More clothes for males.

Aquacorde May 7th, 2014 12:03 PM

Extended trainer customization! Secret bases with more stuff and ability to do stuff with them over wi-fi! Revamped Contests with wi-fi stuff! Battle Frontier! Fast surfing pls. More secret areas and places to explore! Same music but rescored for what capabilities there are now! Postgame stories and side quests! aaaaa

Arlo May 7th, 2014 12:25 PM

League Champion Wally.

Secret bases, berry trees, rain, day/night cycle, 3D diving and underwater battling, 3D Fortree City, lots of post-game content, trumpets (♥♥♥♥ the haters), good experience mechanics (gen V style, gen VI style or something else, just so long as it's not a hassle to level stuff up late in the game), as few non-Hoenn pokemon as possible in the regional dex (enough to round it out a bit - it was short on Fires and Fighters, most notably - but not so many that it's like a different region)... that's about all I can think of right off...

GF have already said Bank will be compatible with all future games, that's why it's a subscription now :P

My wishlist:
MORE MEGA-EVOLUTIONS please. I hated them when they were first revealed but man they were a good addition.
Secret bases were also fun, as were contests.
I'm excited to see what this remake's additional thing is - i.e. the WiFi adaptor for FR/LG and PokeWalker for HG/SS
Awesome Regi post-game stuff. Finding the Regi's was the highlight of RSE for me, I loved decoding the Braille from the manual. Now they have Regigigas too! The Regi's were so awesome, and I'm not ashamed to be the only person to think so.

FlamebirdXZ May 7th, 2014 12:35 PM

I hope your pokemon can follow you around like in HGSS. It would be cool to see 3d sprites of your favorite pokemon follow you around. Make it happen Gamefreak! Oh, and more trumpets!!

SkyRyder May 7th, 2014 1:02 PM

Here's what I'm hoping for:

-The Battle Frontier- Probably the best post-game feature a Pokemon game can have. At least in my opinion.
-Match Calls- This was really unique in Emerald, allowing us to have rematches against regular trainers, and Gym Leaders.
-More Mega-Evolutions- This seems inevitable, especially now with Sceptile and Swampert making a scene. Blaziken shouldn't be the only Hoenn starter with a mega!... ;)
-Difficulty Options- I was hoping X and Y were to bring this back from B2/W2, but unfortunately it didn't, and instead made the games easier. I still loved how the Exp. Share functions now, especially post-game. But if we're given such a mighty item, they should allow some of us to put it to good use throughout the story instead of stomping through everything. (I immediately had to turn mine off, then on again when I reached the post-game)
-Different Story?- I wouldn't mind it if I were to play through the same thing over again... but at the same time, it would be nice to have some new twists that I wouldn't have expected. A different story can mean anything; from an entirely new timeline, to just a few, minor/major changes/additions.
-Post-Game- Whether or not the Battle Frontier does make an appearance, it'd be nice to have other means of replay-ability to keep us playing some more. This can be anything from just extended storyline to more unique facilities.
-Customization with... everything- In X and Y, we are given the option to customize our character. Well, let's bring this back, maybe expand on it a bit, and also have secret bases be as flexible with its customization.
-Expanded PokeDex- Since there are about ~700 Pokemon, do you really want to just see 201 in this game? I mean, I won't be disappointed if it were to retain that number, but I would like to see some Pokemon which weren't available in X and Y without PokeBank.

That's it, really. Even if half- or all of this won't happen, I'll still buy the game.

SnowpointQuincy May 7th, 2014 1:31 PM

Contests that don't stink, something cool and fun.

Mirror B. form Orre as an Elite 4. :15:

Wally as Leader, or Champion.

More Clothes for boys. Heck, just let the boys wear dresses - If only to double their wardrobe.

Nah May 7th, 2014 1:35 PM

^Basically this, plus:

-Character customization and lots of it. I really like being able to customize my character's looks
-Something like PokeStar Studios. I think I'm in the minority of people who liked this feature from Black2/White2, but I think its fantastic and needs to be put back into the games.
-Better story, or at least a different one.
-More legendaries to be catchable in-game without events. I don't care if there's no reason for Zekrom or Darkrai to be in Hoenn, just lemme catch them.
-Black2/White2 move tutors

And make Leftovers a BP item. It's so annoying to only get one per game, and transfer methods like to be a dick and not let you transfer items.

PlatinumDude May 7th, 2014 1:42 PM

All I want are move tutors and the revamping of the Hoenn starters' level-up move pools. I also want more Mega Evolutions, especially those of Sceptile and Swampert.

Sheep May 7th, 2014 1:46 PM

I want my Pokemon to follow my trainer like in HG/SS except in 3D graphics mode. :D And please make contests as fun as they were in the third gen; the contests in later gens were reaaally boring. Other than that I'm hoping for surprises.

More in-depth character customization would be nice, including new face styles, make-up, tattoos, etc but maybe I'm thinking too much into that now, haha.

mikey May 7th, 2014 1:51 PM

I want:
- More Megas (im looking at you Sceptile and Swampert; and to be able to actually use them during the storyline and not just postgame)
- Follow Me feature to comeback (maybe a feature only in remakes?)
- Trainer customization to stay
- Secret Bases and Contests to appear
- EXP Share to be fixed (don't want the game to be as easy as XY)

Aquacorde May 7th, 2014 2:24 PM

I see a few advocating for the follow-me feature but I'd prefer that as a toggle tbh. Like you can choose when to have a 'mon out and which one no matter the party slot. I'd also like to be able to ride your own 'mon in places because that's really what I wanted when I saw the XY trailers. ;w; OH AND an expanded Slateport market. <3

SnowpointQuincy May 7th, 2014 2:40 PM

Follow Me would be difficult with the addition of Roller Skates, unless the Pokemon had Roller Skates TOO :15:

Pokémon following you around would be an awesome little detail. I can understand why it wouldn't really work in a 3D environment that aims to be a little more realistic in terms of the scale of things (i.e. imagine having Wailord follow you around), but I loved it in HG/SS. Hopefully we'll be able to see something similar.

MusikMaestro May 7th, 2014 3:53 PM

I'd love to see Steven as Champion again, with Wallace beig fought in Meteor Falls, where Steven was in Emerald.

Also Spinda Mega pls.

Superfox May 7th, 2014 4:11 PM

Yup. Actually, I think I'll only get the remakes if there are more megas announced.

Golden Warrior May 7th, 2014 4:19 PM

Here comes this list...

1. Secret Bases are a massive must.

2. Can we have some more Megas on Gym Leaders and Elite 4 Members? Oh, and maybe some more Megas in general.

3. Steven had better be the Champion, I swear if he's not, I will rage.

4. Battle Frontier please.

5. Low-priority, but perhaps a system like B2/W2 where we can have some more difficulty added to the game. I felt like X/Y were too easy to go through.

6. Hoenn. (That one isn't even serious really, but come on, it's Hoenn.)

SaniOKh May 7th, 2014 4:31 PM

OK, so personal wishlist...
  • Changing the way running shoes work: instead of walking by default and using the B button to run, I'd rather have the character running by default and use the B button to slow down.
  • Consistency in the way trainers are represented: either sprites or models, but not models for some (not even Gym Leaders or the Champion!) and sprites for everyone else, it just makes the game look like the team ran out of budget at some point.
  • A new story. I really hope we are done with remakes at this point, and ORAS are sequels to RS. Even "A Link Between Worlds"-esque sequel would do. Plus, it could be cool to see how Hoenn changed since RSE.
  • Maybe a more customizable bottom screen? I'd like to be able to use widgets, like on a cell phone to display, for instance, both my team's status and my position on the map.
  • Post-game. X and Y were lacking in that department. Come to think of it, Ruby & Sapphire's postgame was even worse.

Altairis May 7th, 2014 4:42 PM

- Secret Bases!
- Contests, idc if they are scattered throughout region or just in Lilycove :)
- BATTLE FRONTIER. Oh man that was so awesome, I was really proud when I was finally able to beat it in Emerald. :) :)
- Give us access to all the legendary islands that were Japan event only (Mew, Deoxys, etc)
- Character customization like XY
- Difficulty options

Itcheeee May 7th, 2014 5:18 PM

Revamp (not much, just more accessible, berries easier to obtain) Contests, maybe do them with real players, Pokeblock making over wifi
Jirachi and Deoxys event (neeeeeed this O__O )
Different camera angle to enjoy the water routes. Not quite first person but just level and behind your character
Pokemonamie <33333333333

HUF_DBC May 7th, 2014 5:41 PM

-Follow feature from HGSS
-Battle Frontier from Emerald
-Jirachi/Deoxys Event
-Secret Bases
-I want Steven in the Game somewhere
-Character Customization
-MOAR TRUMPETS!!!!!

This is my favorite post in this thread. All of this should be real.

A sort of Sky Battle with Winona would be cool... It would demand Flying-types from the player though, which is a no-go. Rematches with rental Flying-types...!

- Revamped Battle Fronter
- A less annoying version of Scott, perhaps Wallace can take his place
- Different 3rd Gym Leader, since I'd hope Wattson retires or is running New Mauville
- Different 5th Gym Leader because Norman bombs imo
-- If Brendan/May aren't the protags, May should be the new Petalburg City leader

I'd love to see Wally become the Champion; to see him develop from a shy boy you help out on the start of your journey to a confident, powerful champion would be amazing. It'd really lend itself to character development, especially since I found that it lacked in the originals.

If Wally doesn't end up being the champion I'd say I'd like Steven to have returned. I doubt it though, it kinda wouldn't fit into the time line. Although the developers could make it though he defeats Wallace and regains his title.

I love the idea of having a sky battle with Winona. If there could be a way to squeeze around the fact that you'd need a flying type or a pokemon with levitate then I think it's a really awesome idea.

Wattson retiring is a interesting concept too and something I actually wouldn't mind seeing. It'd add depth and I think add a sense of dynamic to the game in that it gves Hoenn a lively, bustling and forever developing feel; it adds to the realism of the game, despite that sound odd. (Since it IS a Pokemon game after all, haha.)

One thing I think should stay is Norman. While I found his personality a bit boring, he was hard af to kill. He was literally the Whitney of the Hoenn region in that his Slaking dominated. And I liked that. It was a challenge. It was satisfying to beat him after trying 184098726 times. If he were to retire though then definitely thin May should step in or maybe even...your/our Mom, haha.

So yeah my personal wishlist:
- FOLLOW ME FEATURE
-
Secret Bases make a return more epic than ever.
- Ramp up the contests, somehow.
-Provide more of a challenge - i.e harder gym leaders, smarter E4; like the good old days, you know.
- No new Mega Evolutions or only a few that actually look good and not over the top.
- Detailed, enjoyable and challenging post game content. (Battle facilities are sooo boring; introduce another region or storyline like GSC/HGSS/DPPt.)
- Greater customization when it comes to male clothing - need more variety.
- A large, non-linear map with choice of where to explore, unlike Kalos and Unova.

Jacrad May 7th, 2014 11:35 PM

-Trainer customization. On a base level I would like to see this expanded to where you can have unnatural colors for hair and eyes and the ability to choose the palette of the clothing. Even if that means they have to implement some sort of dyeing system. Though what I REALLY want is for them to add is a hair system that is made of three components. A bang portion, back portion, and auxiliary (ponytail and pigtails) that you can mix and mash. Even if it only gave you three options per part that's still a lot more to work with.(Well, this wish has been blasted to death)

-The ability to select a trainer class. If anyone remembers the trainer battles you could have in the secret bases of people you linked with you might remember that it would have a random trainer class represent your friend. It'd be neat if they paid a slight homage to that, assuming secret bases return.

-Pokemon World Tournament. This is probably going to be saved for the next installment in X and Y but I would love to see the return of the Pokemon World Tournament. Especially if 3D models are used for trainers in-battle. It's always neat getting to do stuff with your favorite characters and the Pokemon World Tournament covers most characters people would want to see.

-Make Feebas and Chimecho easier to find. It doesn't necessarily need to be easy. But it sure doesn't need to be THAT hard.

-The ability to create Trickhouse puzzles. If you can combine it with the secret bases that'd be a neat bonus. There, of course, needs to be a way to share said puzzles. It'd be a good way to extend the game life. I always felt the Trickhouse should have become standard anyways.

-The cellphone feature. I think it's a neat way of getting some tidbits of character information and setting up rematches. Heck, maybe you could even set up trades this way (Bonus points of your Pokemon does, in fact, appear in their team roster. )

-Contests to be fairly cinematic. Also the moves that you can use one turn to make another move more effective the next turn should have special animations.(This seems to be basically be done)

-I'm alllll for references to Orre. Or any of the side games really. But I would particularly love to see Wes.

-Manaphy to appear in-game. Manaphy is one of the few Pokemon that is beyond belief hard to obtain legitimately since each Pokemon Rangers cart had only one that could be given away. Period, per game cart not per save.

This, pretty much, sums it up, along with maybe better evil team and cooler legendaries. Also, I totally want D/N as well.

BakingBluePotatoe May 8th, 2014 12:04 AM

-DLC
-More Wally, and maybe give him the remaining starter at some point
-More May/Brendan, WITH FULLY EVO'd STARTERS.
-Contests, new and updated WITH WIFI. Also, the halls being spread out like in Ruby/Sapphire
-Secret Bases
-Mega Sceptile, Mega Swampert, and other Megas
-Make Feebas & Chimecho actually catchable
-Extended Hoenn Dex
-New places to go in the post-game
-Wallace OR Steven as the Champ, depending on the version you have.
-Link with Kalos, similar to the Unova Link
-Brendan and May as the protags, but with the ability to customize them.
-all 3 legendaries catchable in-game, similar to HGSS with it's 2 legends
-HGSS style bottom screen, plus the Pokenav, PSS, Amie, and Super Training
-Friend Safari IN ADDITION TO the original Safari Zone.
-Inverse Battles
-Return of the Trick House
-Follow Me, but only if it's OPTIONAL
-Return of the Mach and Acro Bikes, and still being able to swap them out.
-Fight both of the evil teams like in Emerald
-Pokeblocks>Pokepuffs
-Day and Night features, as noticeable as they where in HGSS
-Seasons, because that would be totally cool and keep you playing.
-Difficulty Option at the beginning of the game
-and of course, being able to pick which language you want.

Mithel_Celestia May 8th, 2014 12:49 AM

I agree with the whole follow-me feature for Pokemon, but honestly I feel it's best it stay exclusive to Johto games.

My list are the following though:
>Hoenn Battle Frontier
>VS Brendan or May or even Wally! What an under appreciated character.
>Difficult option during the start of the game
>More Player Customizations
>Secret Bases but more Online MMO-like
>Pokemon Contest
>More Mega Evolution, especially Mightyena and other Hoenn Pokemon.
>More Post-game content
>More in-depth story

I have more But im not sure what they are though.

Echidna May 8th, 2014 12:54 AM

- More puzzles.
- Expand on secret bases and their usefulness. Also probably tie them into online functionality.
- MORE STEVEN STONE
- MORE DIVE SECRETS
- Please, please, please make Sootopolis and Fortree gorgeous in 3D, please.
- There's a f***-ton of water in Hoenn, so maybe let us pilot boats and jet-skis? (Also maybe submarines underwater?)

I'd actually like to see Feebas maintain its rarity. If it were to be made more common (somewhat like shinies in XY) then I think it'd lose its appeal. :<

Blastin'Tyruntz May 8th, 2014 4:45 AM

-Megas incorporated in\mid-game
-Mega Groudon and Kyogre,Mega Latias and Latios
-3D secret bases
-Gym leaders,tariners, elite 4 etc. using megas
- Not just pokemon from the first 3 generations, but from the later 3 as well, including used by trainers and in the wild
-3D Brandon ♥♥♥♥ yeah.
-Diving HM animation and exploring underwater in 3D.

Yeah taht's not all but y'know, the important stuffz.

Sirius Black May 8th, 2014 4:49 AM

I want to see more battles with Wally, and I definitely want to see a harder mode, I've been hoping for this for years but, if they implement a hard mode I will squeal like the little girl I am not. I need to see some difficulty like Expert Emerald.

Eevee May 8th, 2014 5:52 AM

Contests. That's literally all I care about.

There have been 3 Pokemon games without them and I can't stand it! X_X They are my favourite Pokemon thing to do!

I hope they update them with nice graphics and make them awesome. I hope they don't turn into musicals where each piece of an outfit had a set place to put on your Pokemon and you couldn't win anything. Those were the worst things in the world. I do wonder if they will add the dress up feature and dancing to these contests or if they'll just leave that for gen 4. I'm not sure which route they'll take. I'm interested to see.

I just hope they'll make the contests a bigger deal than they were. Not mandatory but make them big. By doing that, they'll allow a bigger post game activity. I also hope for the Battle Frontier because that would bring more post game activities. I personally never got to experience them either so that'll be exciting!

I also hope for a story that isn't about Mega Evolutions like X and Y. The game can have megas but just please don't make it the main storyline. >_<

I also hope for underwater diving again. Not like in Black and White though, where you had 1 second to dive before being brought up to the surface. The diving in Ruby and Sapphire where you can catch Pokemon and stay down for as long as you wanted. Imagine how pretty they could make the underwater graphics with 3D? O:

Secret bases also need to come back. Ruby and Sapphire style though. Not Diamond and Pearl. I like the idea of sharing bases through streetpass/spotpass like they do in Animal Crossing New Leaf.

Generally I just want EVERYTHING back in these games. These are my favourite Pokemon games to date so I kind of have high standards now. I can't help that though. >_<

Zeturic May 8th, 2014 6:10 AM

Much improved contests.

One of my biggest problems with Pokemon Contests is that there's no strategy. Every single one is nothing but feeding your Pokemon some type of Pokeblock and using a couple of moves.

There should be more strategy. For example, there should be more moves to mess with the opponents - but have them hurt your Pokemon's appeal.

Have some kind of system that certain types have different effectiveness in different contests - for example, in a Beauty contest, Beauty would obviously go over the best. But Cute would also go over fairly well (though not as well as it would in a Cute contest), and Tough and Cool would go over especially poorly.

Eevee May 8th, 2014 7:54 AM

This is so minor and so little but I hope that the game cartridges are blue and red like Ruby and Sapphire were. How cute would that be? I doubt it but I would squee with joy. xD

But Feebas was stupid rare to find. It's ok if its rare, but restricting it to a few random panels on one route is really absurd.

~Platina's Jason~ May 8th, 2014 9:54 AM

Secret Bases with Wi-Fi. That's all I want aside from updated graphics. I'd also prefer it for there to be no mega evolutions or fairy types at all.

I'm surprised they didn't do this for gens 4-6... was a bit sad to see the colours go, not gonna lie. :(

But, that was the point. They weren't supposed to be evil, they were supposed to be a misguided group doing bad things for the right reasons. This is exactly why Emerald worked so well - neither of them were truly evil, so temporarily teaming up with one to fight the other made sense.

I see your point, and I've actually considered that before. But let's face it, Nintendo games already suffer from a lacking of any significant plot, and to produce a game with the only presented villain ending up being a non-villain kinda beats the point.

Now keep in mind that generation 3 was my favorite generation, with Emerald being my favorite Pokemon game of all time. But in all fairness, nothing you do within the game ever amounts to anything. Team Magma/Aqua end up having so little to do with the plot, you might as well remove them entirely. Throughout the game, you defeat them over and over again and apparently "put an end to their schemes", only to arrive at the final game plan too late to do anything. Oh and look! The leader failed to control the legendary Pokemon, ultimately turning the entire "plot" into nothing but a convenient set-up leading up to feeding you a legendary that you can either catch (which is really easy) or defeat (which is so ridiculously easy that the only struggle I had was to not accidentally murder the thing).

I don't know, I just hope they're more of a threat this time, and if not a threat then maybe at least a challenge.

Rivvon May 9th, 2014 12:33 AM

Steven is love, Steven is life.

Secret Bases, return to me, please! With StreetPass and Wi-Fi capabilities, too.

Slateport City please have background music with vocals that's all I really want.

Please give us Johto starters a little early in the game, like how we got Kanto starters in XY!

Aaaah I want so many things...I don't want to get my hopes up but still...! I can dream!

I really like that idea! Johto being my second favorite region behind Hoenn, I'd love the opportunity to have a starter from there.

Honestly, the main thing I want in the remakes is more involvement with Wally. They can do so many things with him plot-wise, and I think the events present in RSE have room to be edited and expanded upon. Kalos did a great job in developing Team Flare, and I think Nintendo can build on that by adding more to the story of Team Magma and Aqua. The foundation for the evil teams was great, but there wasn't much in the game that built off of that.

Yato May 13th, 2014 6:43 PM

CHALLENGE MODE PLEASE KTHNXBAI

Aside from being able to have a more challenging playthrough, I'd love to see the following:

Secret Bases: Upgraded, of course, with Wi-Fi features~ I wouldn't mind if it had a capture the flag thing like DPPT's Secret Bases had, or some kinda game that could be done over Wi-Fi.

Contests: Also upgraded. I'd personally love them to include a battle portion similar to the anime rather than just have you use moves, buuuut I have a feeling that may not happen ;;

The Battle Frontier!: And yes I do mean Emerald's BF. It's my all-time fave battle facility, so I'd love to see it back.

More Mega Evos.: Esp. Megas Sceptile and Swampert. Given that Mega Sceptile was apparently mentioned as being registered, I hope that it does come to be and that Swampert also gains a Mega Evos. But please, GF, don't give Blaziken another Mega Evo. like you did with Charizard :<

Trainer Customization: One of the best features to XY, so hopefully it'll return. I'd also like the boys to have more clothing options. Also, the boys should totally be given kilts since I doubt GF will make crossdressing possible.

Maybe a Sounds thing that plays the classic RSE music?: Similar to GB Sounds, of course~

Pokemon League Rematch Teams: Again, would love for a challenge~

Easier way to have rematches with Gym Leaders: Because let's face it, it was a pain in the butt relying on Match Call. Maybe they could do something similar to HGSS where you call them on a certain day and they'll battle you? Or they could make a facility where you'll find various Gym Leaders daily, like in Plat.

I also forgot to mention that in Emerald, once you completed the Hoenn PokéDex you received a Johto starter, so it would not only go with the Kanto starter you receive in XY, but also harken back to Emerald in a nice way.

I would definitely love more character development, too. Wally is already so lovable, just a little more depth to his character would work wonders.

I'd also really like to see at least the leaders of Magma and Aqua expanded upon. I remember some corruption within the Grunt ranks ("When there's more land, I'm gonna buy myself a beach house!" comes to mind), but the leaders really are just good-hearted people who took things to a dangerous extreme. Throughout the originals, they were painted as sinister, but it would be great if ORAS showed more of their caring side--they have to have one, considering they're doing what they genuinely believe to be for the better of the Earth (and then realize their wrongdoings at the end, no less!).

HGSS had small little scenes unfold involving different Gym Leaders which delved a bit deeper into their characters, so I really want something like that to return in ORAS, but expanding past the Gym Leaders at the same time.

Challenge Mode is really an underrated addition imo. I loved it, and totally hope it returns to ORAS. For recreational players just picking up pokemon for the first time, the regular story line may be difficult enough, but for veterans like ourselves, Challenge Mode was an intriguing addition to make the games difficult even for us!

Gym leader rematches were a lot of fun in previous games, but like you said, the method to have one was rather tedious and felt unnecessary. I'd like to see some sort of facility specifically for this purpose. It would make for a much easier way to test your skills once again, unlike the Match Call feature.

Love them or hate them I think the trumpets were an important part of the Hoenn region, it just wouldn't be the same without them.

The trumpets and drums were a lot better than that grattingly annoying squeaking gearish sound they used in the B/W2 remixes.... I hate that squeaky-synth sound in the B/W2 versions...Uragh. No techno, no dubstep, no electronics. I wish they'd keep the music as close to the originals as possible like they did for HG/SS.

I would also love it if we could pick Challenge Mode right off the bat and now have to get the key from someone else or whatever BW2 had us do. There isn't really much harm, especially since all they do is raise the levels of NPCs really ;~;

One thing I wish game freak would not do is excessively "modernize" the music.

Using techno in Kalos somewhat made sense because it's based on France. I really hope they won't do the same for Hoenn.

In HGSS they did a very good job of keeping the "traditional Japanese" feel, especially with the music. If those games are any indicator, I'd say we're in good shape for ORAS!

I can see the concern after having some Hoenn tracks remixed for B2W2 that don't make heavy use of the brass instruments, but they're set in Unova and all had to have a similar sound.

To be honest, I don't mind the BW2 versions of Hoenn battle themes... Though they do sound a lot better when properly mashed with the originals.

In XY, the usual trumpet and french horn are present I guess (from the sounds, I'm no music expert)... So that's reassuring.

I actually quite like the remixes, knowing that they're meant to mesh with the musical style of Unova.

The 3DS is capable of amazing orchestral(-like) soundtracks, so it's definitely possible to recreate the original games' "instrumentation," and possibly make it even more grand! Imagine how amazing that would be~

I can understand some peoples' concern since the only remixes we've heard so far are not in the "Hoenn style," and I definitely place "them trumpets" on my ORAS wishlist, but I honestly think it's the thing we should be the least worried about (hopefully we can get confirmation on that soon, though!).

metalhand May 13th, 2014 11:45 PM

I really want a big and long post-game, including an updated battle frontier, a sub region like the sevii islands, and nice quest.

Juno May 13th, 2014 11:53 PM

I don't know how do-able this would be in a 3D game, but I reeally want the option to have my lead Pokemon walking with me again. Clearly not all Pokemon can be followers, but they can do something like what they did in Amity Square, so that a select few Pokemon can be released and follow their trainers in the game. :)

Hiatus May 14th, 2014 1:13 AM

I would love it if they'd implemented a feature that would save your game automatically, haha. We always save before quitting, but sometimes, though, we wind up forgetting and lose a lot of progress; these kind of moments could be very frustrating. We are human, so we're all bound to make mistakes like this. If they'd added some auto-save functionality, these things would never bother us anymore. Was hoping for this to make it into X and Y, but unfortunately, it never happened. :( Aside from that, it'd be pretty cool if they allowed you to change in-game music style, too. Ones from RSE are loud and dynamic (which is awesome), but I'd personally like there to be a way to slow their tempo, maybe, and perhaps even change what instruments are used when these songs are played.

BadPokemon May 14th, 2014 3:23 AM

Big, deep storyline
Large post-game
Rideable pokemon (my swampert)
New megas
Hard difficulty level
SECRET BASES!!! I want them! They are awesome!

Belldandy May 14th, 2014 6:20 AM

Asides Secret Basses with Streetpass features and Pokemon following you, I really wish for one thing:

Please let us mass-deleted with two built-in security features i.e. two pop-ups asking "Are you sure?" in ORAS. It's such a pest to have to individually delete 'em if you have like, 100 :(

Seeing as ORAS has been officially announced as a remake, it would not make much sense to leave secret bases out, haha. I do hope they add mounting to the game in more detail compared to X and Y, but if that's not possible, it'd be awesome for the follow-me feature to come back from HGSS. Not sure why it went away, to be honest. It gave the game a way for the player to connect with his/her pokemon, something that was notably absent from all previous pokemon games.

Ultan May 14th, 2014 9:12 AM

It is difficult to imagine these games being what I would like them to be, overall I want the games to sort of look like how X and Y look and follow the mechanics of how X & Y play(like marts in Pokemon centers for example, Pokemon Amie to be present in these games although I never play it I'd still like to see it in the games, also personally I don't want to see the Safari zone return I'd rather see a Friend Safari with exclusives like HA Dragalge,Grovyle,Marstomp,Combusken + more be available) , but I want the games to really feel like Sapphire/Ruby, which is going to be very difficult unless its 100% remakes but I honestly don't want that...

What would make the games really feel like Ruby/Sapphire (for me) would be to keep Secret Bases and Contests. I'd like the secret bases of friends who have been online at the same time as you to be accessible in the game like how secret bases were accessible with a link cable(or whatever they were called). I also want contests to work the same way they did in Ruby/Sapphire, there are loads of new moves to use in contests now and I would find interesting to see what the new moves can do.

A more difficult Trick Master house, like really challenging/frustrating mazes, I would love to see the return of the cycling ramp, especially the guy at the end of the ramp who tells you how fast you were. The 1 thing I want more than anything in these games though is a GB(A) sounds item that plays the music from the originals.

I'd like to see the Battle Frontier from Emerald be in the game rather than the 'Battle Tower' that was in Ruby/Sapphire.

A Jirachi,Deoxoys,Mew events from the originals to be accessible in the game without being 'event' only. I'd also like GF eventually change all legendary pokemon to have perfect IVs in all stats, they started the trend in X&Y giving them 3+ perfect IVs, I don't understand why they don't just go all the way... One legendary Pokémon I'd like to see catch-able in game in particular would be Regigigas.

Replace stuff like the Poké Marts with cloths shops/hair places or whatever for more character customization, more customization would be nice but I didn't have a problem with what was available in X & Y.

The 'Hoenn Pokedex' needs to be expanded, the 200 that were in the original are not enough, a lot more water pokemon to run into while surfing would be nice, everyone gets tired of Tentacool/Wingull only. Obviously stuff like Gallade, Roserade, Magnezone, Probopass, Frosslass need to be added to the Hoenn Dex, but personally I think they need to add another 150-250 to the hoenn dex to make the games feel modern.

I'd like to see them change how the bike works so that you will only need 1, some other slight changes like rocks that get rock smashed permanently disappearing (like above Mawville) would be great.

New Megas almost feel guaranteed, I'd say sales for the game would suffer if they didn't add anything new. A move tutor for Secret Power and Defog are a must in my opinion, there are other moves I'd love to see happen like Extreme-speed, Iron Head, Stealth Rock, Pain Split and under no circumstance do I want to see a knock-off move tutor...

One final thing is a change to how rare Feebas is... its not difficult to catch it, it is just unnecessarily time consuming that doesn't feel worth the time to finally catch...


Edit: I thought I said it already, a difficulty option at the start of the game to make the AI of trainers higher or whatever an increased difficulty like in BW2 involved. (I'm not 100% sure what the higher difficulty was like because I had White 2 and for some reason there is only an option to make the game "easier" after you complete the game... but there is an option for "hard" black 2...")

Zeturic May 14th, 2014 10:52 AM

One that comes to mind are Secret Bases. Make more areas for Secret Bases, and more customization inside your Secret Base.

In RSE, mixing records was pretty important. In addition to populating your game world with other people's Secret Bases, it controlled several other things. This time, rather than Mixing Records, simply do it automatically over Local Wireless. Just walking by someone with playing the game should be enough to "trade" Secret Bases, TV programs, and records. Similarly, interacting with someone over Wi-fi should do the same thing.

Give the Desert Underpass more of a purpose. It can still be a trainer-less dead end, but do something with it. Maybe if you come there with Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, it'll open a passage and reveal Regigigas?

Change the specifics of the Regi puzzles. Don't change how they work - obscure braille directions - but change what they ask you to do. Emerald did this too, for the record.

Kind of a given, but change / update the Gym Puzzles. Lavaridge, Mossdeep, and Petalburg Gyms are very good and memorable, and don't really need to change, but otherwise, fair game.

Combine the PokeCenter and PokeMarts, like newer games. But actually replace the Marts with something interesting, not just a house populated by useless NPCs.

Take Emerald's cue for alternating teaming up with Team Magma and Aqua. Also, let the teams keep their Emerald hideouts. But, have only one of the teams succeed in releasing their Legendary (Team Magma / Groudon in Omega Ruby, Team Aqua / Kyogre in Alpha Sapphire), with the other giving up on their search when they see the calamity caused by releasing said Legendary.

Include the Battle Tents, again moving all Contests to Lilycove. Include Mirage Tower as well.

Include places for the location-based Evolutions. New Mauville should have a magnetic field for evolving Magneton and Nosepass, Petalburg Woods should have a Moss Rock, and the Shoal Cave Basement should have an Ice Rock.

Desert Underpass and the expanded Safari Zone should be available as soon as you get to the area, instead of being barred off until after the National Pokedex.

To accommodate the above two, slightly expand the Hoenn Dex. First off, include Probopass and Magnezone. Secondly, include the non Hoenn-dex Pokemon available in Emerald. Specifically, the Safari Zone expansion has Hoothoot, Ledyba, Aipom, Sunkern, Pineco, Teddiursa, Houndour, Miltank, Shuckle, Spinarak, Mareep, Gligar, Snubbull, Stantler, Wooper, and Remoraid. Desert Underpass has Ditto.

All of those listed above should be included in the New Hoenn Pokedex. Their evolutions (including Ambipom, but excluding Gliscor) should also obviously be included.

Reintroduce the Altering Cave. However, change its mechanics and the available Pokemon. Instead, make the starting Pokemon depend on country (or something similar). Interacting with people of other countries will add their Pokemon to your Altering Cave, and add yours to theirs. There should be around twenty or thirty different Pokemon available. Keep it exclusive to post-National dex.

Don't bother adding new Megas. Honestly - there's nothing that makes Mega Evolutions preferable to a Form Change, and, Mega Evolutions, unlike Form Changes, would involve patching XY, which would be a pretty stupid decision considering ORAS and XY were in development at the same time.

Don't worry about explaining the existence of Fairy-types. More or less, they should just ignore them - much like how FRLG treated Steel-types (and the Dark-type moves).

Include and expand the Battle Frontier.

We are human, so we're all bound to make mistakes like this. If they'd added some auto-save functionality, these things would never bother us anymore. Was hoping for this to make it into X and Y, but unfortunately, it never happened.

Please no. Personally, I hate auto-saving games. I like being in control of saving, because then you don't have to worry about whether you just bought the wrong super-expensive item, blowing all your money, or deleted an important move with no easy way to get it back, or wasted way too many Poke Balls for a catch to be worth it. With auto-saving, you'll never know if such mistakes will be permanent.

Just don't turn off your 3DS. Close it and put it on Sleep Mode. I save occasionally, but I almost never turn my system off while playing through a game. Less chances to lose progress.

Not sure why it went away, to be honest. It gave the game a way for the player to connect with his/her pokemon, something that was notably absent from all previous pokemon games.

Yea, I agree 100%. I want a long game with lots of playing time. It would be cool to have that capture the flag game, too. Except, you can use your pokemon to help you.

Renegade May 14th, 2014 11:41 AM

I have to say secret bases as my top pick, even though I haven't ever used them in the past. Not just secret bases, but an online sharing ability of them.

- Secret bases
- Steven Stone giving out a Mega Stone (just for the fun factor :P)
- Customizable charaters (not really a huge fan, but losing this feature wouldn't be the best decision for Gamefreak)
- Small changes to story line to make team Aqua/Magma more threatening
- Battle Frontier

I am also very curious on how they will make the underwater surfing parts of the game in 3D. Could be neat for sure. :)

Smylex May 14th, 2014 12:15 PM

Secret bases making a comeback would be lovely.

4D73R May 14th, 2014 1:31 PM

My List:
*Character Customization
*More Mega's
*Make Steven Champion
*Keep Norman as Daddy
*Wally Should Have a Larger Team, not just Gardevoir (I see Roserade being a good match for him)
*Keep Contests and Add More Things Like Pokeathlon (I do know it's Johto, but still)
*Lose Roller Skates
*More Interaction with Environment
*No Unnecessary New Pokes
*We Should Go To Space in the Space Station to Catch Deoxys (Wasn't that an event?)
*Last but not Least: Rematch Gym Leaders and Other Trainers with Vs Seeker

I have very high expectation with this game. All of my expectations were met in XY, so I'm looking forward to this remake. Cheers to the future!

"HoneyClaws" May 14th, 2014 3:42 PM

Contests:
They should change up how they run and the importance of them to mirror the anime, have more reason to even play them. They should somehow incorporate battling into it as well but in a more aesthetic based way just like in the Pokemon Dojo where they rate you on delivery, not just power. There needs to be side quests where you're sent there to earn something, a contest head like the battle frontier heads and merge it with Pokemon Amiee and the Trainer Video thing from X/Y. It would also be cool if they had the amie play a role improving your pokemon's appearance (brushing, bathing, etc.) & not just how many pokeblocks you can shove down your creature's mouth at once. I really hope they make the contests more like the anime, with the first round being how well you can artfully arrange your pokemon's moves (with special graphics with certain combinations - kinda like how they do in xy when the elemental pledges are mixed) & contest BATTLES instead of just shooting your moves off at a judge.


Customizable Pokemon would be nice too in 3D allow us to add small clothing pieces to them if we wanted to.


Breeding:
I've wanted this specifically ever since they introduced eggs. I want every species of Pokemon to have its own unique egg, it would make it slightly easier to remember what egg were what. After I saw the Manaphy egg in my Pearl version I thought they were going to add this in every game since then.

4D73R May 14th, 2014 4:32 PM

More Stuff I Would Like to See:
*More Castform Forms
*Bases
*Make Contests in 3D
*Add New Pokemon That Don't Come From Their Desserts
*Allow you to Either Side with Magma or Aqua

Can't wait for this game. :< Hurry and six months pass already god!

Echidna May 14th, 2014 4:37 PM

Oh and PLEASE DON'T REMOVE POKEMON-AMIE OR SUPER TRAINING OR THE PSS THESE FEATURES ARE AMAZING

I hope Sootopolis City is Hoenn's Lumiose City.

Tropius mega-evolution.

Hoenn soundtrack.

Emerald's Battle Frontier, an exact replica.

starseed galaxy auticorn May 15th, 2014 12:14 PM

I want to see more of the character customization. <3 That's a big thing for me because I do tend to like fashion stuff. I also want the game to be a bit more easier, like someone said in this thread. I agree that leveling up was a pain. In the older games, I had someone hack it for me before I really understood the purpose of a game shark back then. XD Without my ex-boyfriend giving me cheats for it, I never would have been able to get through the game. So, having an easier leveling with the exp share on would be great.

I also would like to see a mega form of Flygon. Mainly because this pokemon also doesn't get much love. There's not much online you can find for pictures of it. I also wouldn't mind having more to do. I mean, way more to do. Not just stuff for wifi either but more creative like pokestar studios or something. I'm not really big on wifing with strangers across the globe. I'm more likely to restart a game just after getting to a certain point since I'm not good at a lot of things after beating the Elite four & Champion.

Oh, and I will go with everyone else on Secret Bases. Those were the biggest highlight for me. I also hope they will do the same as they did for XY where they let you have friends from your 3DS friend code list. That was way easier than the pal pad system and less of a pain to have to go in the wifi center just to get your FC. I liked the XY friend system a lot better. I also liked how you could trade pokemon straight from the boxes they were in and not have to put them in your team to trade them.

Basically, more just little things I found more easier for me than what most people here have said.

I also like this idea. I've always wanted to rebattle gym leaders after beating the elite four. I mean, if we can beat them over and over, why not make it so that gym leaders are the same way? It would be great for some easily leveling and stuff, especially since gym leaders are usually stronger than the trainers you encounter.

Echidna May 15th, 2014 12:31 PM

Oh and for the love of all that is good I demand the ability to choose the difficulty BEFORE I start the damn game.

What exactly do you mean? The difficulty of the AI or... I dunno. XD

Higher levels for opponents (so that I'm not constantly 15 levels higher even though I am putting effort into NOT leveling up my team).

More enemies when you're fighting the antagonists.

Give the gym leaders more Pokemon.

Lower the level of wild Pokemon so that I don't get as many EPs and have to put actual training towards Pokemon I capture.

You know, make the struggle real, and make it optional so that no one complains about the difficulty and everyone can get their cup of tea. Also, have the option available at the beginning of the game.

I loved X&Y, by far my favorite generation since gen 3, but it was waaaaay too easy. If you're gonna merge my two favorite generations, do it right.

OH! For a second I thought you wanted it easier... ._. I don't think they will add difficulty because people could utilize it in competition battling by leveling Pokes faster and IV breeding even easier. I just can't see them adding that.

The AI needs to have actual strategy programmed into them, especially in their double battles. I would actually think its cool they would make the Elite 4 all double battles post-game like the mods. That would be awesome.
I also think:

All Rivals, Champions, Villain Leaders and Frontier Brains get Mega Evos.
- Steven = MegaMetagross
- Wally MegaGardivior
- Rival = Mega Starter
- Archie = Mega MegaSharpedo
- Maxi = MegaCamurupt

Pepperton May 19th, 2014 8:53 AM

I'd certainly like them to make the boss battles more difficult. I understand that the game is geared towards a younger crowd , but if they implement a challenge mode, it'll satisfy the veterans as well. As fun as Pokemon is, it can get extremely repetitive, especially when it comes to the level of difficulty in trainer battlers. That has a lot of room for improvement!

Universe May 19th, 2014 9:26 AM

That they give some love to the contest system. Costumes, more extensive ways to make Pokeblocks... perhaps even contest-oriented Pokemon moves?

There were some moves in the anime that were used/created for appeal that didn't look like they would be particularly useful in battle, but they sure looked lovely. Like in that one contest battle with Zoey, where she got her Leafeon to fly and gave it wings through some other move (I forget how).

http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/135/c/e/Leafeon_With_Wings_by_Gigi199710.jpg

It's not particularly damaging, but it's awesome looking.

That also leads me to how they had battles in contests that were based on how beautifully you damaged and took down your opponent, rather than how much damage you did. I think this would be awesome to include as well.

DowntownDumpling May 19th, 2014 3:10 PM

I want Secret Bases back, obviously, but with room for a LOT of items. The 16-item limit felt massively artificial back in Gen 3.

Also, a few things most people probably forgot about, in overhauled (i.e. more complicated and engrossing) form:
-Berry Blender
-Trick House
-Sky Pillar puzzles
-Wallace's Gym puzzles

boopin May 19th, 2014 3:36 PM

Revamp of contests, but not a complete change. I really disliked the Super Contests, honestly, since I was expecting something similar that Gen 3 offered.
I kind of liked the idea of the further you get in your game, higher ranked contests became available. I also liked how you would have obtained fossils by going underground, that was a lot of fun to do.


I'm hoping there's an extensive post-game since X and Y was really lacking in that area, guessing Game Freak more than likely will deliver on that since I know that was a common complaint for fans, and they usually listen to the fans suggestions.

Echidna May 19th, 2014 8:33 PM

Oh yeah and please fix Mega Evolutions. The idea is amazing and all, but in practice, the system is broken to the point of absurdity.

That's what I've been saying. The anime created such great ideas for Contests, and the games were so much simpler. I'd like to see them really expand on the Contest mechanic; it has a lot of potential. With the 3D graphics, ORAS is the perfect platform to recreate those beautiful move combinations that were the main part of Contests in the anime.

Especially in game. They said that Mega Evolution has to do something with the bond between the player and the Pokemon yet there is nothing to show for it...it's not like Aime has anything to do with Mega Evolving them...nor does Happiness or anything else that denotes a bond of some kind...

And there has to be a balance when it comes to stats, because bumping up the base stat total by a hundred and throwing in an amazing ability without any repercussions is just ridiculous, especially when it comes to competitive battling.

Something like Megalution needs some negative side-effect, because right now there is virtually no reason to hold back on unleashing a Megalution mid-battle regardless of whether or not you need it. No loss of HP, no depletion of a particular stat that could compromise the safety and/or effectiveness of the Pokemon, and the whole "only one megalution per battle thing" is pointless BECAUSE YOU ONLY EVER NEED ONE.

I mean come on, megalutions are really not so unsimilar to WMDs. And during competitive battles, megalution vs megalution has been reduced to nothing more than a type matchup battle, thanks to the divine and indiscriminate distribution of stat boosts for like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM.

Well I have noticed that some Pokemon in the turn they mega evolve go later than during the rest of the turns. It's not for all of course, but for some depending on the speed of the opponent do. I saw it with my MegaGardevoir, and an Opponent's MegaGardevoir in a seperate battle.


Also some Megas' stats do go down like Garchomp. Arguebly normal Garchomp is better as it can hold another kind of item.

Although the inclusion of what you mentioned is definitely a good thing, it's still not an umbrella mechanic that affects Megalutions in general.

They are just so overpowered it's not funny anymore.
